Microsoft has just announced the next batch of games coming to Game Pass. On top of beloved indies like Firewatch and Broken Age, the list also includes some heavier hitters like Mortal Kombat 11, all of which are set to hit the service this Thursday, Dec. 16.
These titles come on top of Game Pass’ already stacked lineup for December. As well as Halo Infinite’s highly anticipated launch last week, this month has seen the addition of games like Stardew Valley, Serious Sam 4, Among Us, and One Piece Pirate Warriors 4, the last of which we have been informed on good authority is excellent, but only if you read the manga first.
The full list of games coming to Xbox’s subscription service this month – including titles that have already been added to Game Pass – is as follows.

Again, the standout game here is obviously Halo Infinite. For those wondering about whether or not Master Chief’s latest adventure is one worth embarking on, the campaign is the best the series has been since Halo 3, while the corresponding multiplayer component is a beautiful dance.
If Halo isn’t exactly your thing, we’d highly recommend taking Firewatch for a spin. Campo Santo’s debut effort from 2016 is widely revered as one of the best indie games ever made, meaning it’s now a must-play for anyone with an active Game Pass subscription – especially now you can pick one up for just $1.
